While it hasn’t come out of his mouth directly, Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com writes that Brett Favre told teammates Steve Hutchinson, Jared Allen and Ryan Longwell that he will play this season.

Favre informed the trio Tuesday that he is, in fact, back in and will rejoin the Vikings, FOXsports.com has learned.

In addition, Favre is on the plane with the players and is heading back to Minneapolis. However, while signs point to Favre coming back, neither he nor his agent have informed the team that he’s returning. And with Favre, another change of heart is certainly not out of the question.

Does anyone else feel that this situation has gone from absurd to just flat out weird? The Vikings are in the midst of preparing for the regular season and Brad Childress thought it would be a good idea to send his top guard, his top pass-rusher and a kicker to woo Favre at his home in Mississippi? All right.

Although hey, assuming Favre is in route to Minnesota then I guess the move worked. It makes the situation no less ridiculous, lame and corny, but as long as Favre is back under center this year then nobody in Minnesota is going to care what it took to get him back.

Outside of MN, how many fans of the NFL game itself are cheering for BF?

My only question: When’s the news going to leak that you took the $1 million/game that Ziggy Wilf reportedly offered him? Will the media still line-up at the Favre ego-trough at that point or rightfully call him out?

Ah. I was out of town without internet that day and was just watching it on ESPN, didn’t remember hearing Glazer’s name. Either way it’s still hilarious considering everyone made a huge deal out of it. Good. He should come back. He clearly has some good football left in him, his presence gives the Vikings a better chance at success, and he improves the business of the NFL.
